As #Microsoft goes further down the #AI rabbit hole, and the looming end of life for older Windows machines approaches, now is a good time to have a #Linux talk with your friends, family, and coworkers.đ»
Every person you convince to switch is one less potential revenue stream for a very problematic company and a win for open source software and developers. đ°
Yeah, I know, your friends and family have been sick of hearing about it for years, but now might actually be the time. đ§

someone should create a simple(ish) to use webapp that lets you fine tune LLMs by uploading data and running it all on-device through the browser.. could have cool results and personal local AI that excels at what you like :)
(just random thoughts as a privacy friendly approach to this)

"Chinaâs ambition to turn its open-source artificial-intelligence models into a global standard has jolted American companies and policymakers, who fear U.S. models could be eclipsed and are mobilizing their responses to the threat.
Chinese advances in AI have come one after another this year, starting with the widely heralded DeepSeek and its R1 reasoning model in January. This was followed by Alibabaâs Qwen and a flurry of others since July, with names such as Moonshot, Z.ai and MiniMax.
The models all have versions that are free for users to download and modify. This approach, commonly referred to as open source or open weight, is driving global adoption of Chinese AI technology.
American companies that have kept their models proprietary are feeling the pressure. In early August, ChatGPT maker OpenAI released its first open-source model, called gpt-oss.
The history of technology offers many examples where a welter of competitors in an industryâs infancy eventually evolved into a monopoly or oligopoly of a few players. Microsoftâs Windows operating system for desktops, Googleâs search engine, and the iOS and Android operating systems for smartphones are just a few of the examples.
History also teaches that the battle to become an industry standard isnât necessarily won by the most technologically advanced player. Easy availability and flexibility play a role, which is why Chinaâs advances in open-source AI worry many in Washington and Silicon Valley."

ÂżAlguien conoce algĂșn software de incidencias para ayuntamientos? Estilo poder señalar en un mapa donde hay basura, algo que reparar y demĂĄs. Si la opciĂłn es #OpenSource mucho mejor.

ON DEMAND RENDERING FOR PDFS IS HERE!
Linwood Butterfly (my note taking app) won't be converting the pdf in images on import anymore! This means: Flexible quality when zooming in and better performance.
PR is on github: https://github.com/LinwoodDev/Butterfly/pull/888
I will test it more and stay tuned!

Gut das ich automatische Backups aktiviert habe, denn genau jetzt kann ich eines gebrauchen. Doch...
...jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage, da der abend ja noch jung ist, ob ich nicht einfach mal wieder die distro wechseln soll đ€
Hab aber Keime Idee wohin.
Aktuell nutze ich seit 3 oder 4 Monaten Linux Mint, davor Debian Trixie und davor Fedora 42.
Hmm...

"A juryâs partial conviction of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm illustrates the Trump administrationâs selective approach to cryptocurrency policy: slash regulations and end enforcement actions against benefactors, while cracking down on the type of privacy software that was once a fundamental component of the original cypherpunk ideology â long since abandoned by much of the crypto industry. A White House cryptocurrency working group recommendation to expand the Patriot Act to digital asset transactions suggests this is not just a prosecutorial hangover from the Biden administration, but an ongoing priority. Meanwhile, Trumpâs SEC is running âProject Cryptoâ, described as a lucrative âderegulation blitzâ for the industry."
